​Wade Patterson, an animal control officer for Anderson County, South Carolina, has been charged along with his wife Faith with 92 counts each of animal cruelty.

The couple operated Bird Dog Pet Rescue out of their home. But they were apparently much better at rescuing animals than keeping them in good health.

Investigators found dead dogs on their property near Liberty, South Carolina. A vet determined that of the 177 seized, 92 had been mistreated, poorly fed or abused. Others were malnourished...


"This is a shock to all of us," Taylor Jones, director of Anderson County Public Safety, told the Independent Mail. "Faith and Wade both had a reputation of being animal lovers. Wade always seemed particularly outraged when he'd come across an abused animal, or a neglected animal, which is why this seems so amazing."
